3.3 separation of variables Problem 3.

20 find the potential outside a charged metal sphere (charge Q, radius R) placad in an otherwise uniform electric field setting the zero of potential. Problem 3.21 in prob.2.25 you found the potential on the axis of a uniformly charged disk; Explain clearly where you are

(a) Use this, together with the fach p (1) =1, to evaluate the first three trms in the expansion (3.72) for the potencial of the disk at points off the axis, assuming r > R. (b) Fid the potential for r >R by the same method, using (3.66). [note: you must break the interior region up into two hemispheres , above and below the disk. Do not assume the coefficients a are the same in both hemishpheres.] Problem 3.22 A spherical shell of radius R carries a uniform surface charge on the north-ern hemisphere and a uniform surface charge- on the southern hemisphere. Find the potential inside and outside the sphere, calculating the coefficients explicitly up to A6 and B6. Problem 3.23 solve laplaces equation by separation of fariables in cyilidrical coordinates, assuming there is no dependence on z (cylindrical symmetry). [make sure you all solutions to the radial equation; in particular, you result must accommodate the case of an infinite line charge, for which (of course) we already know the answer.] Problem 3.24 find the potential outside an infinitely long metal pipe, of radius R, placed at right angles to an otherwise uniform electrica field E0. Find the surface charge induced on the pipe. [use you resuld from prob 3.33]

Problem 3.25 charge density () = a sin 5

(where a is constant) is glued over the surface of an infinite cylinder of radius R (Fig. 3.25). find the potential inside and the cylinder. [use your resul from prob 3.23]
